I don't, I can find free ones that meet all my needs.

Hmm, I couldn't figure out how to add them, so I gave up. I'll have to try it again

What? Now I'm confused, when I installed it and tried searching there was nothing. I could go configure them but I didn't know what to do there. EDIT, never mind, I was confusing Jackett with something else, Jackett works great.

Don't you need to find 22 indexers to make that happen? Are these all public trackers because I don't think there are even that many left. Or are you using private trackers? I tried using Jacket but it's no good without having indexers, I thought it comes preinstalled with indexers

Us, selfhosters - sure.

Average person who value convenience over privacy/cost - no. They'll continue to pay and be in prisoned by the cloud.

Don't insult seawater, it definitely has more value than NFT

So, I used Homebox for a few days now. I like the simplicity of it and I like the direction they're going. However, there are quite a few bugs and data loss issues, it's not ready for production yet. The thing is, these issues should be so easy to fix (it's a simple CRUD app) that it makes me doubt the dev skills and possibility of other issues I haven't discovered yet.

  • The purchase date just increments or decrements by one day after editing an item
  • When editing an item the notes/description fields show the data from the previously edited item, causing you to overwrite data

These two issues alone made me go back to my spreadsheet for now (good thing I kept a backup). I simply don't trust the app to keep my data intact.

Not only do I prefer separate db for each stack, ideally the db and app are in the same container. Fewer containers to manage and makes the app nice and self-contained.

HA is geared towards selfhosted, locally controlled stuff (zwave, ZigBee, mqqt, local WiFi, etc). Because the cloud and privacy invasion is the mainstream, HA may require a bit more tweaking and technical knowledge to get up and running.

With that said, once you get it to how you want it, it's been working rock solid for me for a few years now. I've built my house around HA automations and can't imagine living without it.

Yeah, Amcrest NVR software sucks. Reliable cameras though.
